10 Things Sen. Dan Coats Will Miss Now That He’s Banned From Russia
Russia issued sanctions against nine U.S. officials Thursday, most of whom responded with statements and tweets saying they were proud to be on Russia’s list.
One of those lawmakers was Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., who tweeted this Thursday:
While I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to go on vacation with my family in Siberia this summer, I am honored to be on this list

But upon further reflection, Coats realized there are some things he'll miss now that he is banned from visiting Russia.
